"Joke, why should I explain?"

"You ......"

"What am I? Zhan Tianhou, it's true that you are the commander, but don't forget, how to protect the princess, and how to protect the princess, that's my business, I don't need to report to you!"

Ling Zhi left after speaking, ignoring the reactions of a group of ministers and princes.

Zhan Tianhou was stunned.

The Eighth Prince was also stunned.

A group of old adults were also stunned.

Don't explain?!

It's like punching a fist and finally hitting the air, which is sour...... Well, that feeling is so uncomfortable and aggrieved to death! Everyone can easily find a thing that can oppress Ling Zhi a little, and he can finish it without explaining a word?

Or, it's not that he doesn't want to explain at all, but he can't explain it at all, right?

In an instant, everyone's eyes met together, and the Eighth Prince squinted his eyes slightly, and glanced at Zhan Tianhou.

Zhan Tianhou immediately stepped forward, and he had already stopped in front of Ling Zhi, "Ling Zhi, I didn't say it clearly, why did I want to leave?"

Ling Zhi looked dazed, "What did you say?"

"What is the identity of these people you brought?" Zhan Tianhou bit his mouth and did not let go.

In fact, Ling Zhi really didn't want to introduce the identities of these people, but why did he need to say so much? It was still a fluttering sentence, but it made Zhan Tianhou have the urge to vomit blood, "Why should I tell you?!"

"Humph!"

Zhan Tianhou roared angrily, and his huge momentum instantly rose, "Ling Zhi, as the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, I will ask you one last time, please explain the identities of these people you brought!"

Ling Zhi suddenly turned around and said without giving an inch: "Don't use your identity to oppress people, I also said, how do I protect the princess, what means do I use to protect it, that's my business, if you are not convinced, report to the saint yourself, withdraw my identity, I Ling Zhi promised, don't say a word, turn around and leave immediately!"

"Ling Zhi, you don't have to talk about the identity of the princess's close guard everywhere, Zhan Tianhou, as the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, shoulders the safety of the whole army, and must also be responsible for the safety of my imperial sister, if you can't explain the origin and identity of these people, hum, I'll say something here, you don't need to ask your father, the palace can remove you immediately!" The Eighth Prince stood up and said.

"Yes, these people hide their heads and tails, and they don't know where they came from at a glance, saying that they are protecting the princess, but who knows what they are thinking about? If something really goes wrong, who is responsible? Is it you, or me?" Zhan Tianhou glanced at the Eighth Prince gratefully, and asked Ling Zhi again.

"Hehe......"

Ling Zhi looked at Zhan Tianhou with disdain, and the corners of his mouth showed endless sarcasm, "It turns out that you want to find someone to be responsible?"

Without waiting for Zhan Tianhou to answer, Ling Zhi immediately turned his head to look at the Ninth Princess on horseback, "Your Highness, Ling Zhi shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of the princess, and he feels that he is unable to support himself, I hope that I can bring these brothers with him to accompany him, in order to better serve the princess, I wonder if the princess can agree?"

The ninth princess smiled faintly when she heard this, and said softly: "Yes!" The words fell and turned towards Ling Zhi and nearly two hundred people behind him: "In the future, the safety of Mingyue will be entrusted to you strong men, after you join the army, you will come directly to my personal guard camp, and you will only be responsible for the protection of the palace throughout the whole process!"

Zhan Tianhou didn't expect Ling Zhi to be so treacherous, and he actually threw the problem directly on Zhan Mingyue, and the other party was willing to endorse him, but he was still a little unwilling: "But the ninth princess, these people are unknown ......."

"Okay, Zhan Tianhou, this palace has already said that these people will come over, and they will all join my personal guard camp, and they will only be responsible for my personal escort matters......"

"Then if something goes wrong later......"

"I'm responsible, okay?"

Zhan Tianhou was dumb.

......

On the vast plains, there is no end in sight.

More than 30,000 cavalry galloped on horseback, like a cloud rolling up in the sky, and like a huge wave roaring in the angry sea, between the sky and the earth, slanting out bursts of thunder.

At this moment, half a day has passed since the oath meeting, although in the previous series of confrontations, it seems that Ling Zhi has the upper hand, but in his heart, there is no half of ease.

The battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and most of them are the cronies of Xuanyuan Bugu, the Marquis of Zhantian, and the commander is Sima Zhao's heart, and what he can rely on is only himself, or there are nearly two hundred brothers and sisters of the Luoxia Sect.

For the first time in his life, Ling Zhi was under heavy pressure for the future.

"Guard Ling!"

A crisp voice sounded in his ears, and Ling Zhi turned his head to see a heroic young woman galloping towards him.

This woman is Xiao Cui, the personal servant of the Ninth Princess, Ling Zhi knows her, "Sister Xiao Cui is in trouble?"

Xiao Cui's cheeks flushed, patted his chest and said, "Don't you dare to be called Ling Gongzi like this, Ling Gongzi just call the slave Xiaocui." ”

"Okay, you don't want to be a child, just call me by my name!"

Ling Zhi was not pretentious, but just a title, "But the princess has orders?"

Xiao Cui nodded, "Well, the princess asked the slave maid to invite you over." ”

"Alright, let's go!" the two of them reined in.

......

At the previous oath meeting, Zhan Mingyue wore a heroic uniform, but it was just to show that the royal members were close to the people and were with the soldiers.

But on the real march, how could Zhan Mingyue Jiaodi, a girl, really ride a horse and rush as hard as an ordinary soldier?

At this moment, she sat comfortably on a luxurious phoenix. The front of the phoenix chariot is driven by six horses, and the body is inlaid with gold, silver, jade, gems and pearls, and the body is also carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal dignity and luxury.

Xu heard the sound of horses' hooves, and before Ling Zhi and the two approached, Zhan Mingyue lifted the curtain and poked her head out of the car window, "Ling Guard!" Although the two have a close relationship, and it is even possible to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin in the future, but that is in private. On the bright side, they are still princesses and courtiers, and they can't lose half of the courtesies.

Ling Zhi reined in the horse's hooves and arched his hand towards the ninth princess: "Subordinate Ling Zhi, I have seen the princess!"

"Escort Ling doesn't have to be polite, there are not so many rules in the army!"

The Ninth Princess said softly, but when others were not paying attention, she secretly winked at Ling Zhi.

Ling Zhi sweated in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head, only to notice that the four guards around Feng Yuan were all women dressed in men's armor.

Not only that, but their cultivation is also extremely high, all of them in the Earth Martial Realm, and one of them, a long-faced woman who looks quite old, has even reached the terrifying Earth Martial Realm Sixth Cultivation Level.

This made Ling Zhi unconsciously think of the night when the dream demon sniped.

In that case, the nine princesses were able to win the game quietly, and it seems that it is not unreasonable to be feared by the imperial brothers.

"Ling Zhi, you come over a bit!" Seeing that Ling Zhi seemed to be a little distracted, the Ninth Princess called out to him.

"This ......" Ling Zhi looked left and right, "It's not suitable, is it?"

The Ninth Princess sneered, the corners of her mouth hooked into a charming arc, "Don't worry, they are all my people." ”

Ling Zhi had no choice but to ride close to the car window.

"Ling Zhi, what do you think of this march?" the Ninth Princess said as she looked at him.

"I can't say this, I don't know much about war, anyway, as long as you protect the princess and your safety!"

Zhan Mingyue nodded, and said, "How long will it take for us to join the big army?"

"We are all cavalry, not slow, I asked some soldiers before, and they said that they could join the large army by tomorrow morning at the latest......"

Speaking of this, Ling Zhi suddenly glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Princess, do you say that Xuanyuan is not ancient......"

Zhan Mingyue naturally understood what he meant, and before he could finish speaking, a touch of coldness flashed on his face, "He doesn't dare!" or think carefully behind his back, but he blatantly did it to me, and he didn't dare to give him ten dares."

...... By the way, I haven't told you yet, before the expedition, my father said a word in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, if there is anything wrong with this trip, Xuanyuan will die!"

"I see!"

Ling Zhi saw the Ninth Princess's determined expression, and then he was relieved. It's not that I'm really afraid of Xuanyuan Bugu, after all, this is the biggest in the army, Xuanyuan Bugu is the biggest, even if he has great ability, he doesn't dare to say that he can withstand the sniping of tens of thousands of soldiers, especially his own people stabbing in the back.

"Ling Zhi, I know you are worried, but don't worry, since I dare to come this time, and I am still pulling you along, believe me, it will never be a ...... death"

Zhan Mingyue stretched out her hand out of the window, and when no one was around, she quietly patted Ling Zhi's shoulder, and blinked again: "When you get to the Cloud Pass, you can get closer and closer to Mao Shencai." ”

"Mao Shencai?" Ling Zhi was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Who is this person?"

"The general army of Yunwu Pass, now he is the largest in the entire Yunwu Pass military and civilian!" Zhan Mingyue said.

The words were just to the point, but Ling Zhi's heart once again made waves. Just now, he was still lamenting that the Ninth Princess's means were not small, but he didn't expect that even the general soldiers of one side were her people.

It seems that as long as you stay vigilant on this trip, there is really no need to worry too much, even if Xuanyuan Bugu is the commander, but there is the head snake of Yunwuguan General Soldier Mao Shencai to contend with, this army, may not be the final word of him alone.

After the two chatted for a while, it was not good to be too intimate, and Ling Zhi hung far behind.

In this way, more than 30,000 cavalry marched for most of the day, and when the sky was getting dark, the army stopped to bury the pot and make food.

Although it is the world of warriors, most of the soldiers are mortal soldiers, and marching at night has always been a taboo in the army.

The food matter has its own arrangement by the Huotou Army, so Ling Zhi naturally doesn't have to worry about it, and as a former cultivator, even if he doesn't eat or drink for a few months, there is no big problem for him.

When the army stopped, Ling Zhi and a group of Luoxia Grandmaster brothers found a place close to Princess Fengyan to settle down.

Their respective storage rings were stocked with food and fresh water, including wine and meat. But there were some mortal soldiers all around, so in order not to arouse the disgust of others, they still honestly waited for the firehead army to cook, and finally ate with the soldiers.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Nine Princesses, such as Xuanyuan Bugu, even if it is a short rest on the march, their pomp is also very large.

Needless to say, the ninth princess is a member of the royal family, she has been used to enjoying it since she was a child, and the commoners and nobles in this world are highly hierarchical, and they are not afraid of gossip.

Not long after the army stopped, a luxurious tent was erected, and all kinds of delicacies and wine were constantly being carried out of the convoy towards the princess's tent.

Xuanyuan Bugu's pomp and circumstance are also not small, and the boss is circled nearby, and the tent alone is three or four times larger than the ninth princess, after all, he is the commander of the army, and he is also pressed by the identity of the marquis noble, and he is not afraid of gossip.

Ling Zhi shook his head when he saw it, and finally knew why the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty was so poor, the commanders were all like this, and it was strange that they could have combat effectiveness.

Time passed slowly in their own busyness, and in the blink of an eye, a bright moon had hung high on the branches.

During this period, the people of the Nine Princesses invited Ling Zhi several times, but Ling Zhi refused. It's not that he is hypocritical, but there are a group of Luoxia Sect brothers watching him, and the big enemy Xuanyuan Bugu is still living well next to him, and his own sect master goes in to enjoy the blessings, leaving a group of younger brothers, which is really a bit unusual.

"Sect Master, you say, can we slaughter that anti-bone boy this time?"
